I miss Seattle (well, Bothel). Lived there as kid and remember having block parties every summer. Now I'm in New England and people avoid each other like the plague. We have cordial relationship with our neighbors, but not all neighbors have interest in meeting people from the other side of their direct neighbor. The closest thing to a neighborhood get together is when the Greek church up the road has their annual Mediterranean Festival and we bump into each other. But people will still only sit and chat with direct neighbors. Ugh. Although, I really shouldn't complain because I hate socializing.
